1968 redo

[Dude68]

Got the head in from machine shop. Rings and gaskets on the way. There are a few more items that I need to get, oil pump, carb rebuild kit, maybe some new lifters and push rods. Not in a hurry because we gonna save the engine stuff for the colder weather and work on finishing up body repair and sanding so painting can be done while it is still warm. No heat in shop. Got to looking at roof and found some rust on upper passenger seam after we dug out the seam sealer, so we decided to remove windshield and did the back glass as well. It was surface rust only. Took a wire wheel to it and it looks great. But, if the windshield would not have been removed, there would have been some rust issues in the future. I had not noticed before, but top of dash is the darker blue, same as door panel and steering column. I am in no rush now that I know my seats will not be ready until February or March. Still finishing up the interior for paint. Have only been able to work a couple of hours a day for one or two days a week.
